Havoc, CSBC Taiwan Partner on Autonomous Vessel Co-Production
Providence, R.I. – September 16, 2026 -- Havoc, a U.S. collaborative autonomy company, and CSBC Corporation, Taiwan, the island's largest shipbuilder, have signed a partnership to pursue licensed co-production of autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) for Taiwan's maritime security.
Partnership pairs U.S. autonomy software with Taiwan-built hulls
Under the agreement, Havoc's collaborative autonomy software will be integrated onto ASV platforms built by CSBC in Taiwan, with production and lifecycle sustainment handled locally. The deal targets Taiwan's domestic shipbuilding capacity, headquartered in Kaohsiung with shipyards in Kaohsiung and Keelung, founded in 1973.
